Abstract

Generally, fertilizer application increases soil fertility, on the other hand fertilizer application leads to the alteration of soil chemical balances in which the magnitude of changes is determined by soil properties. The research aimed to study the soil chemical properties of potentially acid sulphate soils (PASS) originally from two types of tidal swampland as influenced by the application fertilizers and lime. A pot experiment was carried out in a glasshouse. Soil samples were taken from PASS originated from two types of tidal swampland, i.e. PASS in type B tidal swampland (PASS-B) and PASS in type C tidal swampland (PASS-C). The experiment was arranged in single factor of completely randomized design, consisting of six levels of urea, SP-36, and KCl fertilizers and lime that were determined based on Decision Support System software (DSS). Soil pH, total nitrogen (N), available phosphorus (P), exchangeable potassium (K) and iron (Fe) were measured periodically every four weeks, soil redox potential (Eh) was measured every week, leaf color index was measured every two weeks. The dynamics of soil pH, concentration of P, K, Fe and N of PASS were influenced by the application of fertilizer rates and lime, although, the magnitude of their changes were influenced by inundation type of tidal swampland. These facts were mainly associated with the presence of Fe mineral in both soils, the different concentration of Fe2+ in PASS-B and PASS-C may be related to land hydrological condition of type B tidal swampland that is frequently flooded as origin of PASS-B.

Abstract

This study was aimed to show whether conservation effort through reduced tillage or mulching can promote soil zoological benefits, especially to the soil arthropods in sugarcane plantations area, Central Lampung, Indonesia. Twenty sugarcane plots of 25 m × 25 m size each were prepared in the area and treated with two combined treatments i.e. tillage (no tillage and full tillage) and mulching (without bagasse and with bagasse mulch). Tillage and planting were done in July 2010 while mulching was conducted in August 2010. The arthropods were sampled using pitfall traps (mouth diameter = 13.5 cm), each was set per plot for 24 hours. Specimens were identified at least to order level. Sampling was done in September 2010 (1 month after mulch treatment, MAT), January 2011 (4 MAT), and July 2011 (10 MAT). We found four major arthropod orders, namely Araneae (spiders, predator), Coleoptera (beetles, mostly non predator), Collembola (springtails, fungal feeder), and Hymenoptera (ants, mostly forager). The last two groups were the most dominant (contributing to > 90 % of the total abundance). Tillage affected the abundance of overall soil arthropods at 1 MAT and 4 MAT but the effect disappeared at 10 MAT. Reduced tillage can conserve, or does not harm, some soil arthropod groups (ants, predatory ants, beetles, springtails, spiders) in sugarcane agroecosystem.

Abstract

This research aimed to study the influence of phosphate fertilizer and plant growth regulator applications on the growth and yield of ratoon rice grown on swampland. The research was conducted in September 2016 to January 2017 at the greenhouse of Department of Soil Science, Faculty of Agriculture, Sriwijaya University. Soil characteristics were analyzed in the Laboratory of Chemistry, Biology and Soil Fertility, Department of Soil Science, Faculty of Agriculture, Sriwijaya University. The experiment was arranged in a factorial Completely Randomized Design.  The first factor was the phospate fertilizer dosages, i.e. 150 kg ha-1 (P1), 200 kg ha-1 (P2), 250 kg ha-1 (P3). The second factor was the plant growth regulator treatments, consisting of control (Z0), Cytokinin 20 ppm (Z1), Gibberellin 60 ppm (Z3). The results showed that the application of P fertilizer did not affect the yield and growth of ratoon rice. However, the application of Plant Growth Regulators resulted in a significant effect on the growth and yield of ratoon rice. The application of Plant Growth Regulator of Gibberellin with the dosage of 60 ppm was able to increase the percentage of filled grains (84.93%), decrease the percentage of empty grains (15.07%), increase the weight of 100 grains (3.63 g) and increase the dry weight of  milled grains (7.80 Mg ha-1). It is suggested that the treatment resulted in better plant growth and yield obtained in the current study might be recommended for ratoon cultivation in swampland.

Abstract

Calibration of soil P test was conducted for Typic Kandiudox derived from Way Pangubuan, Lampung. A field experiment was carried out in dry and wet seasons. The dry season experiment in 2013 was designed by applying various soil P status: 0 X (very low), ¼ X (low), ½ X (medium), ¾ X (high), dan X (very high), in which X was the amount of P required to obtain P concentration of 0.2 mg P L-1 in soil solution. The wet season experiment was conducted in 2013/2014 with the P treatments of P fertilizer at 0, 8, 16, 33, dan 66 kg P ha-1 in the form of SP-36 with 3 replicates. The results showed that Colwell, Morgan-Wolf, and Olsen extraction methods were not suitable to determine P requirement for upland rice grown on Typic Kandiudox. Extraction methods of Bray-1, Truog, Mehlich, HCl 25%, dan Bray-2 were appropriate to estimate P fertilizer requirement for upland rice. Among all of these extractions, Bray-1 and Truog were the most appropriate. The level of soil P availability extracted using Bray-1 were classified into low (< 12.0 ppm P2O5), medium (12.0-26.0 ppm P2O5), and high status (> 26.0 ppm P2O5), whereas soil P availability status extracted using Truog consisted of low (< 9.0 ppm P2O5), medium (9.0-15.5 ppm P2O5), and high (> 15.5 ppm P2O5).  Phosphorus fertilizer recommendation for upland rice grown on Typic Kandiudox with low, medium, and high soil P availability status were 33, 8, and 0-4 kg P ha-1, respectively, which equal to 200, 50, and 0-25 kg SP-36 ha-1, respectively.

Abstract

Nitrogen fertilizer use in rainfed rice fields is generally less efficient, only part of N is taken up by plants for their gowth and other N is lost and fixed by soil particles. Nitrogen loss in the form of nitrous oxide can reduce N fertilizer use efficiency and contribute to the increase of atmospheric greenhouse gases emission. The field experiment was conducted to determine the residual effect of N fertilizer on nitrous oxide (N2O) flux and yield of some cowpea varieties (Vigna unguiculata) in rainfed rice fields. The experiment was arranged in a factorial randomized block design with three replicates. The first factor was three cowpea varieties (KT 9, KT 6, KT 3), while the second factor was four levels of residual inorganic N fertilizer (0, 90, 135, 180 kg N ha-1). The variables measured were N2O fluxes, grain yield, biomass weight, total N content in soil before planting cowpea, available N in soil after harvesting cowpea. Residual N fertilizer increased significantly N2O emission from cowpea cropping. Nitrous oxide emission from plots grown with cowpea variety of KT 9, KT 6, and KT 3 ranged 0.42-0.69, 0.30-2.64, and 0.09-2.19 kg N2O ha-1, respectively. N losses from soil grown with KT 9 was lower than those in plots grown with other varieties. Residual effect of N fertilizer increased available N in soil as much as 11.6-82.3% (KT 9), 7.6-30.6 % (KT 6), and 9.6-67.9% (KT 3), recpectively. Residual effect of N fertilizer increased significantly grain yield of KT 9, KT 6, and KT 3 varieties as much as 45.7-111.8%, 79.8-89.3%, and 6.9-25.4%, respectively.

Abstract

Low bean production in Indonesia is caused by several factors such as poor soil condition and low quality of the pods. The use of granular organic fertilizer can optimize soil as a growing medium of beans. In addition, the application of harvest interval setting in combination with the use of granular organic fertilizer probably can  improve production and quality bean pods. The research aimed to find out granular organic fertilizer doses and harvest interval setting that resulted in good effects on the growth, yield, and quality of beans grown on Inceptisol from Jatinangor, West Java. A field experiment was carried out at Ciparanje field, Jatinangor, West Java from February to April 2016. The experiment was arranged in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 12 treatments and 3 replications. The results showed that the dose of 150 kg ha-1 granular organic fertilizer and harvest interval of every two days resulted in shoot:root ratio of 12.8, increased percentage of productive branches up to 57.48%, increased percentage of grade B pods (60.17%) and lowered the percentage of grade C pods (29.21%).
